A Series of Unfortunate Events (revisited)

Dear Everyone,

Do you remember when I wrote a post about the random nature of the Universe about a month ago? Well it continues to be "random." By which I mean, I seem to be jumping from catastrophe to catastrophe. I think it is wearing me down because I've been sick much more than usual.

I don't really want to get into a tirade of negativity so I'm not going to get into specifics. However, I do have a bad tendency to navel gaze. Otherwise known as introspection when done in a healthy way, navel gazing is a form of self-absorption and I try to avoid it. I feel myself sliding into it and damnit, I'm not going there.

There are a lot of good things going on amidst the bad. So, I'm going to start lining up projects to keep myself busy. Here's what I got so far:


  • mulching the front "lawn" until the spring
  • planning out next spring's expanded garden
  • Sourcing materials for said garden
  • Build composer
  • Finish hanging the last 4 curtain rods
  • Clearing brush from back yard for primary path
  • yanking kudzu and English ivy off the trees
  • Organizing and cleaning basement post flooding catastrophe
  • waterproof painting basement wall
  • Finish retaining wall
  • Repaint back bathroom with mold retardant paint
  • Get better fan for bathroom


That's enough to keep me busy....right?

  1. Call Bartlett Tree Services for mulch delivery. They should be able to do several truckloads a week. All for free. Would shortly be enough to cover your entire front yard. Also, let me/Carra know if you need help with that or any of these other projects.

  2. A little late I know - but - for some odd reason your post made me think of this:

    The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflection;
    The water has no mind to retain their image.
